Boys Playing Anarchist and Judge
From the Petrolla Record.

From the Petrolia Record.
Five boys who arrived early at the
Sheakley school, about a week ago, put
in the spare time by having an Anar-
chist trial, the three smaller and young,
er boys being the Anarchists and the
two older ones the judge and execution
or. The three were found guilty and
sentenced to be hung. Ropes were
procured and attached to the ceiling, a
long board was placed on chairs be-
meath them, the ropes were adjusted
around the necks of the boys and at q
signal from the judge the sheriff jerked
away the chairs and down the little
fellows came in manner which dis
PEELED their mirth and produced imme-
date insenslbility. The Judge and
sheriff were SO frigl tened by the dis
torted appearance of the boys faces
that they cut them down as quickly as
possible Two of them recovered al
once, but the youngest and smallest
had his neck so badly lacerated by the
rope that IL was some time before he
regained consciousness, Fearing pun
ishment for their almost fatal act, the
boys succeeded 10 keeping the matter
secret for several days, and even al
this time but few know Of the scene
enacted.

Excited Female Clerks.

FROM washington Letter'
Some feeling has been engendered
among the female clerks in the Govern
ment departments against the Civil
Service Commissioners by the recent
publication, under the caption "Pretty
Government Clerks,' OF an interview
purporting to have emanated from zone
If the Civil-Service Commissioners.
According to the publication, the Com,
missioner quoted refers to women in
the departments as being ''lazy, impu-
dent or Indifferent He asserts that
the demand for them is decreasing be-
cause of these traits, as well as the i'm
possibility Of getting rid of them. They
are, ne is reported as saying, always
crying for promotions and after they
get them are satisfied only for short
time, when they are around again with
tears in their eyes asking for something
else, According to him they are never
satisfied. This attack on the lady
clerks has created no little indignation.
1t was generally supposed to have been
the opinion of the entire commission,
which has consequently come in for q
good deal of animadversion. Commits.
sioners Edgerton and Lyman, at least
are much incensed that the reputed
interview should have appeared. l,
far from expresses their views, anG
they only await a meeting of the en-
tire commission before making a state
ment. The assertions alleged to have
been made by one of their number are
in their opinion, manifestly false, snt
the act OF publishing them they regart
as exceedingly ill-judged. Speaking
of lady clerks in the departments Com
missioner Edgerton said today; Z"
know that there are women employed
under the Government who woulC
adorn any household in the land. Il
intellect, culture and refinement many
of them are the peers of those no
forced to earn a livelihood. There i
a divinity of virtue enveloping the ma
| jority of them that should make al
honest men hesitate to defams thei
characters. There are good and bat
in every class, but the majority sboul'
not be made TO suffer for the faults O
the few. The defeoseless condition o
these poor women, forced 70 earn thei
bread when they are better adapted Il
domestic life, should secure them I'm
immunity from wantOn attacks"

Leprosy in Europe.
rom the st. James Budget.

From the st. James Budget
The warning voice uttered by the
rector of Greatham, in the Times, as
to the spread of leprosy, brings US face
to face with terrible danger, as little
understood or experienced by English
men as is the black death of the sweat
ing sickness. To most of US leprosy
is happily only name, associated
mainly with Scriptural incidents which
seem scarcely more remote from our
selves than the disease itself. Yet
there can be no doubt that this malady,
one of the most hideous that affiicts
mankind, is actually among US at this
moment, that its tendency is to keep q
firm foothold wherever it shows itself,
and that it is constantly widening the
area of It's dreadful influence.
According to Archdeacon Wright,
the disease is being spread all over the
world by Chirese emigrants. They
have carried it to California, New
Brunswick, the Cape of Good Hope
and the Sandwich Islands, where 1t
was previously unknown; and either
they have brought it into Europe them
selves or it has been brought by
Europeans who have been in contact
with them. All the specialists in skin
disease in Paris are said to have lepers
among their patients-soldiers, sailors,
merchants, sisters of charity, mission
aries and others. Epidemics of leprosy
have broken out in more than one OF
the provinces of Spain, the disease hav-
ing been brought home by sailors:
There are lepers in the hospitals OF
London, Dublin and Glasgow, and
Archdeacon Wright mentions, on
authority he does not doubt, that a
week or two ago there was case OF
leprosy in an English village. In fact
the two points to be borne In mind are
themselves sufficiently suggestive OF
grounds for alarm, the first being that
the disease itself has of late years in
creased in activity, and the second that,
in more or less degree, it is to be found
all over the world. Any accidental
circumstances which might develop its
virulence would at once produce q
world wide epidemic. The train Is
laid and needs only to be fired.

She Walks IN Her sleep,
A REMARKABLE STORY OF soMNAMBuL
isT FROM wILKRsBARRE.


WiLkEssARRE, December 4.--Mrs.
Rebecca Eldridge, living on Main street
has had some remarkable adventures,
during the past week in somnambulism
Mrs. Eldridge's family consists Of a son,
George, about 10 years old, and a
daughter, Mamie, aged about 16.
There is also in the house II. A. Stew
ard, clerk, who works at nights, and
has been prominent actor on each
occasion on which Mrs Eldridge has
been attacked with somnambulistio
fit.
On Tuesday morning last as Mr..
Steward entered the house he saw Mrs.
Eldridge coming down the stairs. She
wore her night dress only and walked
firmly as though bent on some fixed
errand. Her eyes we're wide open bu,
she did not seem TO see Mr.. Stewart,
Mrs. Eldridge advanced straight to the
hat-rack and taking her hat put it on
and went to the front door to 90 out.
Mr.. Steward then spoke to her and
asked her where she was going. She
said iu childish voice: 81 am going
to church. ! must 90 to church and
am afraid / will be late" The other
mem bers of the hous, hold were arous
ed aud Mrs. Eldridge was placed in
bed. On the following day she was
told of her nocturnal wanderings, but
remembered nothing of the occurrence.
On Wednesday morning she had a
far more serious and startling expert
ence. 1t was about 8 A. M when Mr..
Stewart returned home and the wealth
er was intensely cold. He found that
the trap-door, opening from the attic
on the roof, was wide open, and he
saw Mrs. Eldridge standing on the
roof of w. L. Looms house next door.
She had gained the roof of her own
house and then must have stepped or
jumped in the darkness across the in,
tervening space, fully three feet wide
She had two bundles under her arm
One contained plush dress goods and
the other musllns. She was rescued
after great difficulties. Yesterday
morning when Mr.. Steward got home
he found the front door open. He ran
up stairs and aroused Miss Eldridge
who found that her mother was not in
bed. Her son George was called, and
after notifying the police to be on the
lookout for her, Mr.. Steward and
George Eldridge started out to find
her. They searched all over the neigh
borhood and it was nearly daybreab
before they found her in the Hollen
back Cemetery. She had no clothe,
on but her night-dress and hat, and
was almost frozen to death. She was
still asleep and talking to herself.

school for scandal. There are scandals
about ministers, scandals about attor-

about city and State officials and, in
point of fact, scandals about every
body. There are people who will
falsify eternally. There are in every
country large factories Of falsehood,
which run night and day. Have you

proportions Anatomical justice has
never been slave to lie. 1t exists

whisperers are always first class liars
They are either masculine OF feminine

At THE THEATRE.
Shadows of a Great City, lakes a
Hit on Opening Night

"SnaooWS or Great city Lakes a
Hit on Opening Night
Shadows of Great City, was played
before fine audience last night. The per-
Torrance was the best of the kind that has
ever been given here. 1t was the first time
that the piece has ever been played in Sa-
vannah. IL is conedy-drama, dealing
with American types of character showing
familiar American scenes, and presenting
all picturesque and romantic phases of
American lie in and around the metropo-
lis The scenes of the play are laid in and
about New York, aud the motive is the mis-
fortunes of the child of the discarded daugh-
ter of a millionaire, love and honor figuring
in the play as well as suffering and crime
The play is sensational, and yet it is not of
the blood and thunder class.
Among the characters may be men
toned Miss Annie Ward Tiffany, who, as
Biddy Roman, has rich brogue and fnnd
of witticisms: Miss Clyde Harron, who has
fine stage presence, and who is a capable
actress, assumes the dual role of Annie
Standish, poor woman, and Helen, her
daughter; George K. Edeson as Jim Farren,
has made his part very strong. The piece
was enthusiastically received and it win be
played during the rest of the week.
